1 Pak. J. Bot., 40(1): , STUDIES ON THE GENUS OF DICTYOTA LAMOUROUX FROM THE COAST OF KARACHI, PAKISTAN MUBINA BEGUM AND NAUSHABA KHATOON Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan. Abstract Eco-taxonomic study of 4 species of Dictyota (Dictoyotales, Phaeophyta) dealing with the revision of D. dichotoma, D. haukiana Nizam but D. dichotoma var. intricata and D. dimensis as new records for the coast of Karachi, Pakistan is reported. Introduction Dictyota is one of the largest genus of the order dictyotales (Phaeophyta) which has not been studied in detail from the coast of Karachi, Pakistan. Few scientists described it from different parts of the Arabian Sea. Boergesen (1934) only listed two species of Dictyota, D. atomaria Hauck (=Dictyota haukiana, Nizam.), D. dictotona (Huds) Lamourax from the coast of Karachi. Boergesen (1932, 1935, 1937) reported D. atomaria Hauck and D. dichotoma (Hudson) Lamouroux (1937) from Indian Ocean. Durairatnam (1961) described D. indica Sonder, D. atomaria Hauck, D. dichotama (Hudson) Lamour from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Misra (1966) described D. indica Sonder, D. atomaria Hauck, D. dichotoma (Hudson) Lamouroux and D. dichotoma (Hudson) Lamouroux var. intricata (C. Agardh) Greville from the eastern coast of Arabian Sea (West coast of India). Shaikh & Shameel (1995) recently reported D. dichotoma, D. dumosa, D. haukiana, D. indica, D. maxima from the coast of Pakistan. Present attempt is made to study the dominant genus Dictyota in detail dealing with the taxonomy and ecology of 4 species viz., D. dichotoma (Huds) Lamour, D. haukiana Nizam., D. dimensis Kütz., D. dichotoma Lamour. var. intricata (C. Ag.) Grev. The last two species are reported for the first time from the coast of Pakistan. Material and Methods Materials were collected either living or as drift during from different localities of Karachi coast. Specimens were either fixed in 4% formalin sea water solution for anatomical study and mounted on herbarium sheets. Identification were based on the morphoanatomical observations of each collection, free hand sections were cut from upper, middle and lower parts of the plant. Diagrams were made by using Camera lucida. Dictyota Lamouroux: Plants mostly grow in clusters, attached by irregular holdfast or by rhizoids arising from the lower parts of the thallus; erect portion flattened, ribbon like, strap-shaped, membranous. Thallus dichotomously, sub-dichotomously or irregularly divided; surface smooth or rough; growth by a single dome-shaped apical cell and the surface cells twice longer than broad, arranged in longitudinal rows. This genus exhibits a bluish or greenish irradiance in strong sun light.

4 380 MUBINA BEGUM & NAUSHABA KHATOON Pakistani specimens of Dictyota diemensis resembles the South Australian specimens described by Womersley (1987) in all aspects. He reported two forms i.e., narrow (from rocky pools) and broad forms (from deeper water), due to their growth in different habitats and tide levels. Pakistani specimens are broader form (4-7mm) and was collected as drift, may be growing in deeper water. Womersley (1987) also reported it as the inhabitant of deeper water.

5 STUDIES ON THE GENUS OF DICTYOTA FROM THE COAST OF KARACHI 381 Fig. 3. Dictyota hauckiana Nizamuddin. A. Small plant with dentate margin; B. Large plant with dentate and proliferated margin. Pakistani specimens resemble Indian specimens described by Boergesen (1935, 1937) and Misra (1966) and Ceylon specimens by Durairatnam (1961). The small or young plant differs from the specimens described by Durairatnam due to the presence of dentations. This specimen also resemble to the briefly described specimen by Shaikh & Shameel (1995) but differs in having stipe, lower part of the thallus narrow gradually increasing in width with greater number of dichotomous branching, younger plants denticulate and older ones with proliferations instead of uniform width and dichotomous branching, margin dentate and proliferation arises from upper portion of the thallus.

Empty antheridial sori with involucres, 550x. Plants upto 14 cm erect, thin, flat, ribbon-like, greenish to yellowish brown in colour; attached by rhizoidal holdfast. Thallus regularly dichotomously branched; sinuses narrowly obtuse or broadly acute; segments become broad 4-8 (-10mm) before bifurcation. Lower segments thick, dark to blackish brown, 3-5mm broad, internodal segments 1-2 cm long; upper segments thin, yellowish to greenish brown, 2-3mm broad, internodal segments 5mm-10mm long. Apices broadly and narrowly round, obtuse or blunt. In C.S. upper part of the thallus 95 µm thick; medullary cells squarish 70 µm assimilatory cells squrarish µm. Lower part 200 µm thick; medullary cells 160 µm high, µm broad; assimilatory cells squarish 18 µm. Hairs 14 µm broad, irregularly scattered or associated with reproductive organs. Tetrasporangia ovate or round in shape in surface view. In C.S. 120 µm high and 75 µm broad. Oogonial sori blackish brown, round, elongate or oval, in surface view. In C.S. oogonia broadly elongate with narrow base and broad apex, 65 µm high, 30 µm broad. Antheridial sori yellowish brown, oval to elongate. In C.S. antheridia narrowly elongate, 75 µm high, 21 µm broad, 2-4 celled in width; involucres 80 µm high, 20 µm broad. Ecology: D. dichotoma is common in occurrence and found growing on send covered rocks and in rock pools from mid-to lowr-water mark at Manora and Buleji but rare at Paradiase Point (collected as drift). Salim (1965) also reported it as drift from Karachi coast. Nizamuddin (1981) collected from muddy, rocky flat of littoral region from a depth of m on Syrte Bay, Libya. Peterson (1918) collected at 35 m from Tripoli and recently Kajimura (1987) from m from Japan. It appears that D. dichotoma grows in lower tide level in different geographical locations.

Plants thin, erect, upto 22 cm high yellowish or blackish brown, twisted; branches much entangled and forming ball of thallus. Lower segments thick, 3-5mm broad, flat, blackish brown, distantly dichotomously branched, upper part dichotomously much branched, segments linear, narrow, 0.5-1mm broad, divaricated. Apices acute; sinuses broadly acute. In C.S. upper part of the thallus 130 µm thick; medullary cells 100 µm high, 110 µm broad; assimilatory cells 15 µm high and broad. Lower part 245 µm thick at the center but become narrow at the margin, 170 µm thick; medullary cells µm high, µm broad at the center, 60 µm high, 50 µm broad at the margin; assimilatory cells squarish 20µm. Segments of the lower part of the thallus attached with each other. Tetrasporangia ovate to spherical in surface view, 135 µm high, 100 µm broad. Hairs rarely seen, uniseriate, unbranched, 18 µm broad. Ecology: D. dichotoma var. intricata found rare in occurrence and grows in sandy bottom pools from mid to lower water mark at Manora and Buleji, but it was very rare and collected as drift from Hawkes Bay and Paradise point. Local distribution: Manora (Leg. M. Nizamuddin, ; Hawkes Bay (Leg. M. Nizamuddin, ; ; M. Begum & N. Khatoon, Buleji (Leg. M. Begum & N. Khatoon, ; Paradise point (Leg. M. Begum & N. Khatoon, Geographical distribution: Arabian Sea: India, Karachi (Pakistan). Mediterranean Sea: France, Italy, Sicily, Yugoslavia, Greece, Libya. Atlantic Ocean: England. The Karachi specimens of D. dichotoma Lamour. var. intricata (C. Ag) Grev. resemble the specimens from Libya (Nizamuddin, 1981), but differs being rhizoids arising from the lower part of the thallus, narrow segments and thick thallus. D. dichotoma var. intricata also resemble with D. dichotoma but is distinguished by narrow, linear segments, acute divaricate apices and medullary cells mostly narrower than breadth at the lower part of the thallus.
